Baseball's Miguel Tejada lied about his age

so today news comes out that Houston Astro's shortstop and American league MVP Miguel Tejada back in the day shaved off 2 years off of his age and was able to leave his native Dominican Republic Home. alot of players from the Dominican are asked to lie about there age and it means more appeal for Prospective Major League teams looking for a player. this sounds just like what happens out in Hollywood where Stars lie about there age all of the time. now Tejada quickly left the Guy who was interviewing him about the story that has leaked about how Tejada back when he was 19 said he was 17 which ended up with him getting a bonus to join a team. alot of talent scouts go overseas to seek young talent and anything goes for a buck. it is part of the game within the game. all elements of entertainment always comes with some kind of a hustle and it never seems to fail. I'm sure there are more storys like this and it won't be the last.
